I had never heard or heard of "Wo gehst du hin, du Stolze" until coming across it in Lieder, Songs und Gospels 3. This is a folksong that's had a good going-over by Brahms. It's all about a proud young lady brutally refusing the advances of a polite young man. He reminds her that even the most beautiful roses whither and die.
"Wo gehst du hin, du Stolze" has been recorded by:
Various Artists on "Deutsche Volkslieder - Johannes Brahms" CD(s) & MP3 Album(s)
